Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 630 Asura Hall.

Shi Lang's question and his drive shocked the people. Yang Niao and the rest could see that he was not joking. The terran was asking them seriously. The disciples did not raise their heads, but the heads of departments exchanged glances and nodded.

Yang Niao replied sincerely, "We all wish to reach the peak. You may not understand, but we have nothing to lose. Our pride and family that we found in this sect was the only thing that we cherished. However, these demons waltzed into our house, and they crushed it. Our elders were all kind people and gave us so much love that we forgot the cruelty of life. We have suffered once but do not wish to suffer again." 

Shi Lang watched them very carefully, and after a few minutes, he said, "The peak is not that easy to reach. To navigate through blood and deceit the bird must become a monster. If you all are willing to follow this path, then I will accept the designation of the Sect Leader." 

The people were filled with bliss. Yang Niao cupped his fists and with a bow said, "Yang Niao greets Sect Master." 

Shi Lang stood up and bowed back to him. The others also followed Yang Niao and greeted Shi Lang. The terran jumped and stood on the table. He said, "We are all of the same level, and our numbers are not enough for us to be called a sect. While we aim for the peak, we have to maintain a low profile. None of us wish to incur trouble from those arrogant big places. 

If you are not wrong, do not bow, if you can avoid the trouble, then take a turn. Endure and wait for the right moment to strike back and enact revenge. Form today forth, we shall be called Asura Hall." 

Yang Niao and the rest of the people looked at each other in daze. Shi Lang was not lying to them. They all have gained an understanding of this world, if they have not been found by the elders of the sect, they would have been crushed by the cruel reality. If they wished to excel they would need to be cruel to themselves. Otherwise, they will always rot at the bottom the peak they seek. 

Yang Niao said, "Since, we are renaming to Asura Hall, then you shall be known as the Hall Master." 

The rest of the people nodded, and Shi Lang sighed and said, "Well, if you all do not mind, I would like to get on with the uplift of the Hall member's strength right away." 

One of the disciples asked in a jovial tone, "Hall master, can we not even celebrate?" 

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Celebrate when you have grown stronger. As for now things need to be done quickly. Their is not much time left before the Centurian tournament. You all will enter the tournament and fight for as long as you can. Test yourself against the world. Only by that can you grow stronger." 

The people gasped, Yang Niao exclaimed, "Hall master, what about keeping a low profile?" 

Shi Lang replied indifferently, "Centurian Tournament is open to everyone. What is so odd about it? Have you never heard of people who would participate in activities to clinch on any and every chance to grow stronger? Be that person, but know when to stop. If you do not wish to stop and die on the path of the strong, it will be your glory." 

None of the people knew how to react at this. They have accepted Shi Lang but that did not mean they were ready to commit to death also. Shi Lang said, "This was why I asked earlier, do you have the resolve to be at the peak. This was the reason I do not wish to take any commanding roles." 

That said he came down from the desk and left the mess hall. The disciples were all confused. Some wanted to stop Shi Lang while some could not yet process their thoughts. Yang Niao suddenly turned around and said, "Hall Master, I will follow you. I will go to the Centurian Tournament and fight till the moment I can stand on my feet or hold on to my weapon." 

Shi Lang did not say anything but walked away. He did not wish to waste his breath on these people. They did not have the guts to see through their ambitions and he did not like such people. 

Yang Naio could feel this and said, "I, Yang Niao, swear to the heavens that I will follow all and any instruction that the Hall Master of Asura Hall, might give me." 

The clouds above the mountain thundered. Shi Lang froze in his spot, he turned around to look at Yang Niao who was standing on the otherside of the doorsill and said, "You know, one person does not make a difference."

Yang Niao said, "I do not speak for others but I will do my best to do what I need to in order to get stronger." 

Shi Lang nodded but did not say anything. Yang Niao turned around to look at all his fellow disciples and said, "We are all we have. I hope you all can trust me and follow him without hesitation. He does not have anything to gain by making us stronger, but we might be able to gain a lot." 

One of the heads of department said, "I will follow you, Senior Brother Yang." 

The young lady made a heavenly oath and the rest of the people followed them with some hesitation. However, once they made the heavenly oath, their hearts lightened up. They people all stepped out of the messhall and Shi Lang said, "Since you all have decided to follow me, I shall promise to lead you all without any ill intention too." 

He spoke in a sonorous tone, "I, Shi Lang..." 

Everyone was touched by this gesture of his. Yang Niao and the rest even went to the extent of taking a blood oath to assure him that none of the people would ever betray the Asura Hall. After a couple of hours when they finished doing so, Shi Lang said, "I have noticed that you all have some defects in your cultivation foundation, that is why you are weaker than some people in the same realm." 

The people knew this and they nodded. Shi Lang took out a spirit jade bottle from his space ring and said, "This bottle contains thousand drops of Spirit liquid, take out four hundred for two hundred people, two drops each and practice will help you gain a flawless foundation." 

His actions shocked the sect disciples. None of the people had expected for Shi Lang to take out such a big gift for them. The terran said, "You are not to increase your cultivation until the weaknesses in your foundation are sorted." 

The people nodded and Shi Lang continued, "I have to leave to submit my task, Brother Yang will be leading you all in the meantime. Do not go out and publish that we have reorganized. Just stay calm and act like nothing has changed. We will act when the time is right." 

After everything was settled, and the Asura Hall was set-up, Shi Lang walked out of the door and headed to the Teixian city.
